Here is the fingering for the G scale (starting from from open G string) The most of it fits all the other scales. You will see they include two suggested fingerings, one above and one below the stave. The ABRSM (the exam board of the Royal Schools of Music) includes a three octave G major in its Grade 7 violin scales: There's a runners adage "race your strengths and train your weaknesses" and exams are a moment to demonstrate practised strengths.
However, for grade exams we need to demonstrate our mastery of a scale to an examiner and then we need to get one fingering as close to perfect as we can. So it makes sense to learn our scales in many different positions and starting points and fingerings. Thus when we encounter a piece of new music (which may or may not include fragments of scales) our fingers know where to go. I'd say there is no "standard fingering".Īsk yourself the question "Why learn scales?" It could be that once, walking down the street, you heard the sound of a beginner violinist practising his or her scale work over and over and over again and you thought "That is such a beautiful run of notes I must learn that too."īut for most of us scales are a means to an end, and the end is increasing mastery of keys and their fingering.
